Copper zinc tin sulfide-based thin film solar cells /

"Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) -based thin films are produced by the thin layer deposition of photovoltaic materials onto a substrate. These semiconducting compounds have low-toxicity and are considered the most promising and cost-efficient technology for producing energy from solar cells. CZT...
